    I know, I know: “it’s a shitpost…” But there’s not a single type of music that sounds better at full blast. And if you inflict your music on others in public instead of using headphones, you’re an asshole.

      If you use open backed headphones, you can enjoy your music at its best quality while also sharing it to other people sharing your bus. Win-win!

      There’s a special place in hell for any person playing any sound loudly in public places. Recently there was some dude scrolling TikTok at full blast in the train. I’d rather have any form of continuous music over that distracting bombardment of random sounds.

      Classical music. Classical music sounds better at full blast. Anything with either organ or orchestra. Blast it.

      For a while I listened to techno combined with Mongolian throath singing, it was pretty good actually.

      Yeah, they are models for a stock photographer - https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/antonio-guillem

      It’s pretty funny because all three of the models in the distracted boyfriend meme are used in a bunch of situations

      The walking girl is the girlfriend's dentist

      The walking girl is the girlfriend’s dentist

      The couple works together and the fallout is awkward

      The dentist tries to apologize to hlthe girlfriend, but girlfriend only pretends to forgive her

      Etc.

        Didn’t someone make like an entire story from all of these at one point? I remember it being a bit of a stretch but still funny.

              Thing is, you don’t need an account for YouTube to work. And if you use an adblocker, it’s actually pretty hassle free too.

              Something like a YouTube video/music link can be ripped trivially with yt-dlp. Google doesn’t force me to interact with their shitty tracker-ridden UI, spotify does (unless i use some sketchy third party site).

                Take this as nicely as possible, but just google it and just listen to some music instead of being an incel about it

                  Yeah, that’s the saner option. But DRM, online tracking, ads, and unnecessarily bloated websites are still quite concerning. Using these services more only helps them make it worse. Plus, I’m on an ancient computer; spotify runs slow as hell for me.

                  Sorry for being an incel again, but please try to make it more accessible. You could:

                  • Include the song’s name, makes it easier to search
                  • Link the song in a website that doesn’t have heavy DRM
                  • Download the mp3 and post it directly

      Better than the “country” they play on the radio, without a doubt. That shit with lyrics like " I fucked my truck and my wife got mad. My dog wanted to join but we were banging her dad" all deserves the flush.

      He’s definitely not a strictly country artist, but check out Lord Huron. Bag of Bones is a good starter. He wouldn’t be making the music he does if it wasn’t for the country artists that came before, and he’s pushing the genre in some real Modest Mousian directions in the best of ways

        I love Lord Huron but I’ve always thought of him as folk rather than country, personally. Do you have any examples of country artists who’ve inspired him? I generally dislike country but I haven’t really given it a fair try and that sounds like a good place to start

          Examples that I know inspired his music specifically? No can do, mate. I’m not big on country either, and I dont know the guy or follow interviews he’s done or anything like that. I just know that the music he makes reminds me of the music I’d here when frequenting redneck hotspots. Like, the deepwood living, liquor distilling, 6 broken down cars scattered through their inherited land having kinds. Not the ‘I wear john deere as a status symbol’ kinds. Old country about how fucked the government is and trying to wrestle with identity in a world that could care less how we feel or think. Woodie Guthrie comes to mind (also not explicitly country and leaning more folk, ik) but I know for certain they were playing a lot more than just that.

          I was talking more about influence in the long division sense and agree that he definitely leans more folk. But also reasoned that folk and country (and bluegrass as well) all share their origins in what is now generally referred to broadly as “folk music”, and which evolved, largely but not entirely, from the lilting string tunes of the celtic cultures, with old Irish music probably having the most sway there. I know this much, but dont know specific artists to direct you toward as it’s just not my bag. Sorry lol

            No worries, and definitely agree a lot of the vibes are shared between folk and country. Just feel like I should give country music a fair shot eventually because of how much I like folk, and “Lord Huron influences” sounded like the least likely to make me feel like I’m being waterboarded with used motor oil lmao

              Haven’t talked to old boy in a long, long while, but I’ll ask for some recs if I can get ahold of his crazy ass. Chances are not high so don’t get your hopes up lol

              If you’re just in the mood to try something different tho, I’d suggest Joe Ely. More south of the border folk than what we’ve been talking about, but he def dips (maybe dipped? not sure) his cup in that same omni-american stream of proto-proto-rock here and there. Any song off Letter to Loredo is somewhere between ‘hey, that’s pretty good’ and ‘yo this fuckin slaaaps’ imo
